Upcoming Shows

Throughout the years, my various musical ventures

have gotten the attention of the media. As I have time,

I'll be adding the articles to this site.

 

August 1979
Glendale Ledger feature article Immigrant: Progressive Rockers Boosted by Glendale Investors
Huge story on Immigrant. Story gives some history of band, background on financial backers, managers, and attorneys with ties to Glendale
Due to size of the article, it has to be split up accordingly:

December 1981
Singapore Strait Times review of Leif Garrett Concert

My group "Band Abroad" was hired as Leif's backup band & warm up band for a major tour of S.E. Asia. We went from an over capacity 30,000+ show in Bangkok, to this barren World Trade Center show on Christmas Eve, being filmed for Asian TV distribution. This article says it all... Band Impresses More Than Leif!
